Can you substitue Cognac for bourban?

Answer 1

No, not really. Not in cooking and not in mixed drinks.

Cognac is a type of brandy from a certain region in France. Brandy is made from distilled wine (which is made from grapes).

Bourbon, on the other hand, is an American Whiskey made (primarily) from corn.

In cooking, cognac can mostly be substituted with other brandies. In mixed drinks cognac can sometimes be substituted, but often that just makes a different drink.

In cooking, bourbon can be substituted with other whiskys and scotches. For drinking, though, many people are very particular about what they drink and from which suppliers.

Answer 2

Yes, Bourbon is a type of whisky. Its taste difference will be imperceptible to those who do not regularly drink whisky. And likely to many that do!

Answer 3

NO! Those two liquors are worlds apart! They're not even meant to be consumed at the same temperature.
